@Kuttyjoe Let me clarify.
>> Are you saying, if I were to select the hand tool, use it, then switch to another tool, then see if it's still on the hand tool?
I'm looking to see if you get into a stuck mouse-down state without keyboard chording being involved. i.e. Just use the Hand Tool and move things around. Mouse-up. Are you stuck? Or just use the Zoom Tool and mouse-down, sweep left or right, then Mouse-Up. Are you stuck?
Keyboard chording can affect which tool is being used when a mouse-down happens. Event handling properties (for that Tool) are established at mouse-down. If the Tool is switched to an Alternate Tool due to keyboard chording or some other behavior that closely follows the mouse-down, like the mouse being over a special control surface in the document (e.g. a rotate grab handle), then problems may occur, especially if the Tool cursor has not changed yet. I just found a bug with Pen and the Marquee Tool, where if you were working very quickly, and you tried to create a new selection over an existing one, we try to switch to the Move Tool. In that case, we might miss POINTERUP, because the Move Tool only deals with Mouse-based events and is not Pen aware. That's why the precise details of what Tool you start with and comes first (mouse-down or key-down) matters, as if affects how control flows through the code. And it is also why I'm trying to be as precise as I can, because without those steps, we are very unlikely to reproduce. Our muscle gestures may be just slighly different from yours, and you see the bug, and we don't.
As far as your frustrations go, I certainly understand. All I can do is try to find and fix the problem. To find it, I need to reproduce it.
